mall crusin'

well, the movers were back at home loading the truck. so it was about 40 degrees in our house with the doors open all day. no toys. no beds. no food. no help... it made for some pretty crazy, rambunctious, tired, and hungry kids (and one very stressed out mama). 

so, we headed to the mall - just to get out of the house and wear off some energy.

grady has always wanted to cruise around in one of these super cool cars, anyway ;-)

space needle

jon and i went out to dinner for his birthday, and we decided on the sky city restaurant in the seattle space needle. since we are moving soon, we knew we weren't going to have any more opportunities to do this. it was so worth it.
